The Meditation Room

Hi All, I’m very happy for the chance to pen down my funny experiences with meditation.

I had started to do meditation from my schooling-days. At the beginning, it was very tedious thing to do.

They used to do the meditation during our break time!

Most of us just wanted to play outside and we felt our teachers were forcing us to meditate.

So we did it without any interest.

Some of the pupils at the back of the room would sneak out of the meditation room. If the session was too long many of us fell asleep. Some of us snored. Others would just whisper to each other.

Some times, the teacher had noticed what we were up to and gave us punishments.

Once, one of my friends was falling asleep and fell down on the floor!

We heard the noise and looked at him. We couldn’t control our laughter. From then on, there was always a teacher in the room to make sure we behaved.

Many pupils were caught mis-behaving and punished by having to meditate for a very long time.

To escape from the punishment we used to pretend to do the meditation properly. But doing this actually made us meditate perfectly!

That was a memorable event. None of my friends or I will forget this. And we realized something else. We should start to do the good things in a little by little. No matter, whether we are interested or not.
